Orion's POV
I woke up with my arms wrapped tightly around Aria and her snuggled into my chest. I didn't want to move from this position I was happy.
I felt Aria move around in my grip. I looked down to see her staring back up at me sleepily.
"Good morning." I said as a smirked danced across my lips.
"Good morning indeed." She cooed quietly and leaned up and kissed my nose. I love when she does that, she is so cute. Our lips met for a moment before I started out of bed.
"Where are you going?" She asked sadly
"To make food." I murmured and smiled as I saw her face light up with joy.
"I'll come." She said excitedly almost jumping out of bed. I walked over to the door and held it open.
"After you." I said as she walked over to the door.
"Thank you."
We walked down the stairs and past the living room to see a sleeping Hunter clutching a beer bottle. I ignored it and pulled Aria along behind me. We walked into the kitchen and I opened the fridge and noticed that they had no food.
"Why don't we go out for breakfast or.." I glanced over at the clock and noticed it was almost noon
"...lunch." I said laughing.
We walked back upstairs changed and went to ihop for breakfast. We sat on silence listening to the radio.
"Ooh I love this song!" I said as I turned up the radio "is this okay with you babe?"
"Yeah....."
We sat in silence as the lyrics started
You and I,
We're like fireworks and symphonies exploding in the sky.
With you, I'm alive
Like all the missing pieces of my heart, they finally collide.
So stop time right here in the moonlight,
Cause I don't ever wanna close my eyes.
Without you, I feel broke.
Like I'm half of a whole.
Without you, I've got no hand to hold.
Without you, I feel torn.
Like a sail in a storm.
Without you, I'm just a sad song.
I'm just a sad song.
With you I fall.
It's like I'm leaving all my past in silhouettes up on the wall.
With you I'm a beautiful mess.
It's like we're standing hand in hand with all our fears up on the edge.
So stop time right here in the moonlight,
Cause I don't ever wanna close my eyes.
Without you, I feel broke.
Like I'm half of a whole.
Without you, I've got no hand to hold.
Without you, I feel torn.
Like a sail in a storm.
Without you, I'm just a sad song.
You're the perfect melody,
The only harmony
I wanna hear.
You're my favorite part of me,
With you standing next to me,
I've got nothing to fear.
Without you, I feel broke.
Like I'm half of a whole.
Without you, I've got no hand to hold.
Without you, I feel torn.
Like a sail in a storm.
Without you, I'm just a sad song.
Without you, I feel broke.
Like I'm half of a whole.
Without you, I've got no hand to hold.
Without you, I feel torn.
Like a sail in a storm.
Without you, I'm just a sad song.
I'm just a sad song.
Arias POV
I stared out the window trying not to cry. I should have changed the channel, I didn't want to upset him. I kept my gaze away from Orion so that he wouldn't see me crying, I tried not to but I let out light sobs and caught the attention of Orion.
"Are you okay."
He said as he pulled over to the side of the road. He pulled my chin towards him so that I was looking at him.
"What's wrong."
"That song... I used to listen to it before my parents died, it brings back memories...." I chocked out.
Orion opened his arms and pulled me in.
" it's alright."
He kissed me on the head and whispered.
"Let's go get break fast."
He turned back onto the road and started back to ihop.

Orion's POV
When we got back to the house, it was like Hunter was waiting for us. When we walked in he pushed me to the floor and put his foot on my chest so I couldn't stand up. I squirmed desperately trying to escape his grasped but he just kept pushing down harder and harder to the point where I couldn't breathe.
He grabbed Aria by the sweater and pushed her up against the wall.
"This is going to be fun..." He cackled as he dragged her up the stairs and into her room, he slammed the door behind he and I heard the locks click shut.
The next thing I heard was banging and smashing. I quickly ran up the stairs and started banging on the door. Nothing happened just continued banging and smashing. I quickly fumbled my phone out of my pocket and dialled 911
"911 what's your emergency?" Came a perky voice from the other side.
" I need a police and ambulance As soon as possible!" I said with a scared concerned voice.
" okay we will be right there." She said and hung up the phone.
It only took them a few minutes to get to the house, I heard a knock on the door, I ran down the stairs trying not to fall. I opened the door and the police ran up to where all the noise was coming from. They kicked down the door and ran into the room, guns pointed at Hunter they said.
"You are under arrest for child abuse."
I ran in and grabbed Aria who was laid limp on the floor. My heart stopped for a moment when I didn't see her breathing.
